About Us: Since 2000, the Agent "William L. Campbell" and "Peter Pelican" have been members of the Civil War living history community. With adopted first person names, they have gone throughout the Midwest, South, and Eastern regions under such as the Old Northwest Volunteers and Co. B of the 36th Illinois Infantry. They have portrayed both sides of the War, and are continuously involved in Civil War matters since elementary school. ? The Agents began buying and selling muskets at first for their own collection and living history purposes, but then decided to launch a full-time page for Civil War artifacts, mostly concentrating on reproduction and original muskets, gun tools, and image artifacts in 2014.
RARE Colt 1854 "Russian Contract" Rifled Musket
Description:
Originally contracted by Russia to compete against the British p1851 Minie Rifles creating havoc on Russian soldiers, Colt was asked to deliver 25,000 rifled muskets. He bought surplus m1815 and m1816 muskets and rifled them, converted to percussion with a "Colt's Patent" bolster, and then added a Russian style rear sight. The Crimean War ended before delivery could occur, and Colt was left finding a new buyer for these arms.
In comes Giuseppe Garibaldi and the Italian War of Independence. It's believed that all these arms made it to Italy, or at least a majority before their final destination becomes murky.
Some evidence suggests that these were bought by some Rhode Island militia companies, but there is some anecdotal evidence suggesting Southern use. But for all intent and purpose, these things just vanished during the scrap drives of two World Wars, use, and attrition.
Estimated production to be around 25,000 with approximately 14 remaining survivors according to Dr. Madaus. In January of 1860, Colt sent 20 samples of the muskets to Giuseppe Albinola, an exiled Italian businessman in New York who was also working as an agent for Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi.
Mechanically functional, it has wear to the stock and metal. Colt's Patent is clear on the bolster. There are strong stock cartouches.
Price includes USPS shipping with insurance.
